Ren's mansion She tosses on the bed and sits up afterward. Checking the message for the umpteenth time, she can only wonder how true this is. This was the same company she went to before, and she was rejected. Not that she wasn't qualified, but that stupid Ren practically rejected her because she is chubby. That's the craziest shit she'd ever experienced in her life, and until now, she still hasn't been able to get over it. 'Does Ren knows about this?' That is the question that keeps ringing in her head as she tosses the phone on the bed. She can't help but anticipate his return tonight. Maybe he would talk about it with her later when he returns home, but on second thought, she feels like it may not be possible. This person rarely talks to her, so how on earth will he talk to her later? Her stomach suddenly grumbles, and she sits up on the bed, realizing that she hasn't had anything to eat all day. Now, she would have to go to the kitchen, and maybe she may get bullied by those ma
Next day... Waking up the next day to the same email that was resent to her a few minutes ago, reminding of her the time she should be in the company, she needs not to be told that she needs to hurry there. Standing up from the bed lazily, she drags her feet into the bathroom and slams the door hard behind her back angrily. She was still feeling sleepy, but she has to wake up to go to this damn company. She didn't get to see Ren before she went to bed yesterday, so she's still skeptical about this whole thing. She was fucking thrown out of the company like a piece of trash the last time she was there, so how's she certain that the same thing won't happen this time around? "Don't be pessimistic about this. They fucking sent you an email themselves, and they even dropped a reminder for you this morning. They need your service now," Her subconscious mind says to her, but she just rolls her eyes. The fact that the company sent her the email doesn't guarantee anything. She was sent an
Her heart was filled with excitement as the cab drives her home. At least, she's finally going to be leaving the house for work even if it's just for q short moment. Arriving at the front of the gate later, she hops out of the car and pays the man, but turning around to head to the building, she stops abruptly when she spots Nate standing with his hands tucked into his pockets. She hasn't stopped to think about what happened yesterday. How he's suddenly now her neighbor is what she hasn't brought herself to digest. "I have been calling you, but you didn't answer your phone. Where did you go?" He asks once she stops in front of him. "I went out. Why did you call me?" She asks, and he shrugs. "Well, I wanted us to hang out together, and maybe go shopping. It has been a while since I last shopped, and you know, I just moved in here, and I still need to get some things," He explains to her, and she slowly nods her head. "So, in summary, you're asking me to go to the mall with you to
"Hey! What the fuck was that? You're the one that likes pigs, I don't...""Say that again, man, and you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it," Nate cuts the man off, balling his fist as if he's going to fight him. Maybe it'll still result in that, but it's not yet decided. "So what? What the fuck will you do if I do that?" The man snarls angrily, pulling his girlfriend behind him, and facing Nate, ready to fight. "If you're blind to settle for this ugly thing, you shouldn't complain when people talk...""And you think you're any better than her? Do you think your girlfriend is better than her?" Nate yells angrily, gritting his teeth afterward. "Nate, you don't have to fight him. He's right, after all. I am ugly...""Look what my boyfriend was saying. She just fucking admitted it, what's with you? If you're going to be so embarrassed by her, then you shouldn't be hanging around with her in public," The young lady chips in, rolling her eyes. "For how long are you going to ke
Chapter 23Her heart beats rapidly against her chest as she stares at the building in front of her. She has just arrived at the restaurant where the dinner appointment is supposed to hold. 'What if she goes in there, and gets bullied again as usual? Will she be able to handle it? What if they don't want to see her because they feel like she's ugly?' She thinks to herself. As much as she wants to turn back because she feels she can't do this, on second thought, she knows she has to do this if she wants to earn a living for herself. It's her first job opportunity and letting her insecurity make her lose it is the last thing on her mind. "You have to accept whatever you see in there," She whispers to herself, then takes a deep breath before she walks elegantly toward the entrance door. Although she's fat, she's still smart enough to walk elegantly. She struggles with her heels as she walks into the spacious and classy restaurant, enduring the excruciating pain she's feeling in her fee
Chapter 24"What is going on here?" Kira slams her hands on the table, getting their attention. "What is the meaning of this, Kira? What the hell are you doing here?" He asks calmly, not sparing her a glance. "I should be asking you that, Nate. What the hell are you doing here with this thing?" She sneers angrily, glaring hard at Lilian, who turns her face away. "We are here for...""And when did I give you the right to meddle in my affairs, Kira?" He cuts Lilian off, finally turning his gaze to glare hard at Kira. "I have every right to question you, Nate. What the fuck are you doing with this thing?" She sneers again, and he scoffs. "Can you gently leave here this minute, and don't cause a scene here? You wouldn't like to get on my bad side, Kira," He says, trying so hard to control the anger that is rushing through his vein. "And what if I create a scene, Nate? What will you do? Beat me? For fuck sake, I just caught you with another woman, how the fuck am I not supposed to cr
Chapter 25Three days later... The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Lilian out of her deep slumber, and she groans tiredly as she tosses on the bed. It's finally Monday, the day she's supposed to start work at Bradford's company. Standing up from the bed sluggishly, she drags herself to the bathroom and slams the door close as soon as she walks inside. Staring at her reflection in the mirror after she washed her face, she sighs deeply. Yes, she's resuming work today in the company she has always been dreaming about, but she's not feeling too happy about it. The thought of the insults she may receive later is already discouraging her, but she knows that she has to do this. She really needs this job, and now that she got the opportunity, she should be happy, right? "Don't think about it, Lilian. Just stay focused," She mutters to herself, before she strips out of her clothes, and hits the shower to have her bath. Taking forever in the bathroom, she finally walks back into her room
Chapter 25An awkward silence assumes the air as she stands in his office, staring down at her feet while fondling with her nails. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest, scared of raising her gaze, for the fear of looking into his deadly eyes. "What was that about, Lilian?" His cold voice sounds through her ears, and she feels her heartbeat stops for some seconds. How could she have said those words not minding that he might hear her? She just wanted to make herself feel good back there, and get on those bastards' nerves, she never knew it'd get her into a big mess. "I'm sorry, Sir," She whispers, although he heard her very well. "You're sorry? What the hell were you thinking? When the hell did I tell you that I got married to you? The fact that you acted as my substitute bride that day, doesn't give you the right to tell people that you are my wife!" He slams his hands on the table angrily as he springs up to his feet, and she flinches fearfully. Now, she regrets saying those
